The Northern California Society for Professional Journalists posted an \u003ca href=\"http://www.spjnorcal.org/new/2014/12/08/open-letter-spj-norcal-responds-to-reports-of-police-force-used-on-journalists-in-berkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">open letter \u003c/a>denouncing the police response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Check back Wednesday morning for updates.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> The latest fallout from a series of Berkeley protests against police violence: The Berkeley City Council has canceled its Tuesday night meeting. The decision was made as activists from \u003ca href=\"https://occupyoakland.org/ai1ec_event/shut-berkeley-city-council-remove-mayor-office/?instance_id=280227\" target=\"_blank\">Occupy Oakland called for a shutdown\u003c/a> of the meeting. A statement from Mayor Tom Bates suggested the meeting was scratched because of capacity issues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Council Chambers can hold about 125 people, and we understand substantially more people are interested in attending the meeting due to recent events in Berkeley. We want to ensure that the community has as much access as possible to public meetings. The Agenda for the December 9 meeting will be rescheduled for a future date and public notice will be given prior to that meeting. A notice of meeting cancellation will be issued by the City Clerk and publicly posted. We apologize for any inconvenience.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland is still calling for a 7 p.m. activist \"convergence\" at the park adjacent to the Berkeley Civic Center building.

What’s driving it? The most likely answer is acorn crop failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True to their name, Acorn Woodpeckers are acorn specialists. They develop communal granaries that may consist of tens of thousands of holes drilled in tree trunks and limbs, each stuffed with an acorn. Only about half their diet actually consists of acorns — the other half is made up of fruit, insects, and other vegetable matter — but the acorn granaries are the staple food source that gets them through lean times. According to \u003ca href=\"http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/194/articles/introduction\" target=\"_blank\">Birds of North America\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[i]n areas where there are large seasonal fluctuations in insects and other foods, year-round residency is dependent on the birds’ ability to store sufficient acorn mast to provide food throughout the winter. Groups that exhaust their stores often abandon their territories and wander off in search of alternative food.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This year appears to be one of those years. According to the Oct. 2014 edition of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/wkoenig/CAR_2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">California Acorn Report\u003c/a>, this is a medium-to-poor acorn year. Results are particularly poor for live oaks: it is either the worst or next-to-worst year ever for coast live oaks, canyon live oaks, and interior live oaks. Blue oaks are generally fair to poor and it’s a fairly poor year for tanoaks. The valley oak crop is reasonably good but, overall, acorn production is the worst it has been since 2003, and less than half the crop production of 2012 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10346846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood3-720x583.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood3-720x583.jpg\" alt=\"Acorn Woodpecker carrying an acorn .

(Larry and Dena Hollowood/Berkeleyside)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what does the future hold for our clown-faced friends? Is crop failure due to drought or just cyclical variation in acorn production? University of California’s \u003ca href=\"http://ucanr.edu/sites/oak_range/Oak_Articles_On_Line/Oak_Woodland_Ecology_and_Monitoring/Acorn_Production_by_California_Oaks/\" target=\"_blank\">Oak Woodland Conservation Work Group\u003c/a> sheds some light on the drivers of crop size:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For valley and blue oaks, the most important single factor is weather in April, the peak month for pollination, with crops being heavier in years when mean April temperatures are warmer. … For coast and canyon live oaks, mean acorn production is positively correlated with rainfall occurring one and (for canyon live oak) two years earlier. … Interestingly, winter rainfall in the same year as acorn production-the factor most commonly thought to determine crop size-does not correlate positively with mean annual crop size of any of the species we studied.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So it’s quite possible this year’s poor crop is attributable to the rain we didn’t get a couple years ago. In that case, it may be a while before acorn crops return to their 2012-2013 levels. In the meantime, here’s hoping our feathered friends find some good food sources in their new urban digs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10346848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood4-720x480.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood4-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"An Acorn Woodpecker.

Groups that exhaust their stores often abandon their territories and wander off in search of alternative food.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This year appears to be one of those years. According to the Oct. 2014 edition of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/wkoenig/CAR_2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">California Acorn Report\u003c/a>, this is a medium-to-poor acorn year. Results are particularly poor for live oaks: it is either the worst or next-to-worst year ever for coast live oaks, canyon live oaks, and interior live oaks. Blue oaks are generally fair to poor and it’s a fairly poor year for tanoaks. The valley oak crop is reasonably good but, overall, acorn production is the worst it has been since 2003, and less than half the crop production of 2012 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10346846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood3-720x583.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood3-720x583.jpg\" alt=\"Acorn Woodpecker carrying an acorn .

(Larry and Dena Hollowood/Berkeleyside)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what does the future hold for our clown-faced friends? Is crop failure due to drought or just cyclical variation in acorn production? University of California’s \u003ca href=\"http://ucanr.edu/sites/oak_range/Oak_Articles_On_Line/Oak_Woodland_Ecology_and_Monitoring/Acorn_Production_by_California_Oaks/\" target=\"_blank\">Oak Woodland Conservation Work Group\u003c/a> sheds some light on the drivers of crop size:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For valley and blue oaks, the most important single factor is weather in April, the peak month for pollination, with crops being heavier in years when mean April temperatures are warmer. … For coast and canyon live oaks, mean acorn production is positively correlated with rainfall occurring one and (for canyon live oak) two years earlier. … Interestingly, winter rainfall in the same year as acorn production-the factor most commonly thought to determine crop size-does not correlate positively with mean annual crop size of any of the species we studied.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So it’s quite possible this year’s poor crop is attributable to the rain we didn’t get a couple years ago. In that case, it may be a while before acorn crops return to their 2012-2013 levels. In the meantime, here’s hoping our feathered friends find some good food sources in their new urban digs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10346848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood4-720x480.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/acornwood-larryhollowood4-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"An Acorn Woodpecker.

It was set on a post outside his home and filled with books that were free to passers-by, who then returned them or brought other books to share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea grew, and Bol partnered with Rick Brooks soon after to launch the \u003ca href=\"http://littlefreelibrary.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Little Free Library nonprofit\u003c/a>. An early goal was to build more little libraries than Andrew Carnegie’s 2,509 real libraries constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That number was easily surpassed. There are more than 18,000 Little Libraries officially registered on a world map on \u003ca href=\"http://littlefreelibrary.org/\" target=\"_blank\">the group’s website\u003c/a>, where you can zoom in on your neighborhood to see where the closest one to you might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The website also has an assortment of different makes and models of libraries you can order but, this being Berkeley, we are lucky to have lots of interesting and unusual designs to house books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10345737\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/library3.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10345737\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/library3.jpeg\" alt=\"This library is made from an old wine box and is on Sonoma Avenue near Neilson.

Complete with a miniature banner on top that announces a new poem of the day inside and a homemade curtain that decorates the front window, this library has been “a real neighborhood project”, says Davis. The dedication ceremony in November 2013 included tea, cookies and lots of folks from the block who pitched in with the construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Children’s books are the hardest to keep stocked in the library,” said Davis. “They just fly out the door!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10345739\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/library4.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10345739\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/library4.jpeg\" alt=\"This library is on Francisco Street, about a block up from San Pablo Avenue.

The building is on the Historic Register.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council has tried a number of maneuvers to stop the sale, including the recent rezoning of the Civic Center core. The new law says the historic buildings in the core, including the old City Hall and the Veterans' Memorial Building, cannot be used for commercial purposes. Height limits are capped at 50 feet, or the height of old City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been numerous demonstrations and camp-outs on the steps of the post office by Save the Berkeley Post Office and other groups to protest the building’s sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the outcry, the USPS has determined that the sale of the post office would produce “no adverse effect.” The post office has pledged to require the new owner to comply with a “preservation covenant,” to ensure that the historic aspects of the structure are preserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all residents of Berkeley are opposed to the post office sale. John Caner, who runs the Downtown Berkeley Association, has spoken out at council meetings to suggest the building might be used in different ways to bring new vitality to the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley City Councilman Gordon Wozniak said he thinks the building could be repurposed, since 80 percent of it is empty. (The post office has already moved its distribution facility to another site.) He would like to keep the front section as a post office, but the rear could be used as a farmers market or other community use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think saving the building to keep it empty” is a good idea, said Wozniak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Berkeleyside publishes many articles every day.

The building is on the Historic Register.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council has tried a number of maneuvers to stop the sale, including the recent rezoning of the Civic Center core. The new law says the historic buildings in the core, including the old City Hall and the Veterans' Memorial Building, cannot be used for commercial purposes. Height limits are capped at 50 feet, or the height of old City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been numerous demonstrations and camp-outs on the steps of the post office by Save the Berkeley Post Office and other groups to protest the building’s sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the outcry, the USPS has determined that the sale of the post office would produce “no adverse effect.” The post office has pledged to require the new owner to comply with a “preservation covenant,” to ensure that the historic aspects of the structure are preserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all residents of Berkeley are opposed to the post office sale. John Caner, who runs the Downtown Berkeley Association, has spoken out at council meetings to suggest the building might be used in different ways to bring new vitality to the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley City Councilman Gordon Wozniak said he thinks the building could be repurposed, since 80 percent of it is empty. (The post office has already moved its distribution facility to another site.) He would like to keep the front section as a post office, but the rear could be used as a farmers market or other community use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think saving the building to keep it empty” is a good idea, said Wozniak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Berkeleyside publishes many articles every day.

Berkeley also helped launch an effort toward healthy eating, led by Alice Waters and Berkeley's schoolyard gardens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, funding cuts threatened some of those gardens, and the seed was planted for the beverage tax, says Alexander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The parents of the kids who benefited from the gardens in the schools,\" Alexander says, \"and people in the community who benefited from the gardens started [asking], 'How can we have a source of funding that's ongoing?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Building A Coalition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They knew they were taking on a tough opponent -- the beverage industry.

She says she's involved as part of her focus on health in the African-American community. She says she was \"very disappointed\" when New York City's local NAACP sided against the ban on large servings of soda that was proposed there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And in Richmond I know that big soda hired a lot of people from the community, from minority groups, to do telephone polling against it,“ McGruder says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley pro-tax campaign is also tapping into a broad network of\u003ca title=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/supporters\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/supporters\" target=\"_blank\"> community groups\u003c/a>. Take the Ecology Center. It's been around for more than 40 years, and is known for pioneering Berkeley's curbside recycling program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ecology Center marshaled resources including campaign foot soldiers like 22-year-old Kad Smith, who works on nutrition programs for the center. He’s spending weekends canvassing, and his evenings phone banking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our message is that there is an overwhelming and urgent health crisis in our community,” says Smith. \"We see those disparities especially in south and west Berkeley, which is a low-income community, which is also populated by a lot of people of color. It’s an overwhelming health crisis with obesity, diabetes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"yes\" campaign is also drawing support from outside the community. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who tried and failed to put a cap on the size of sodas sold in that city, recently donated $85,000 to the Berkeley effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Big Money From a Big Opponent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drive around Berkeley and you will see bright red “Yes on D” signs blooming in yard after yard, suggesting the measure's success is at hand. But the beverage industry is very good at fighting this fight, very good at sowing doubt about the benefits of this kind of tax. So far they've \u003ca title=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/10/beverage-industry-spends-big-to-defeat-berkeley-measure-d\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/10/beverage-industry-spends-big-to-defeat-berkeley-measure-d\" target=\"_blank\">spent more than $1.6 million dollars\u003c/a> in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Ashby BART station, it’s easy to see where some of that money is going. There are signs everywhere that say, “Measure D is not what is seems.” A bunch of them have a big piece of glossy fruit that on the outside looks like an apple and on the inside looks like an orange. The tagline says, “On November 4th, vote no on Measure D.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"UB8RkOYJaiQH1WslpAfI0RKMkE32mdwG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Merrill is a democratic political strategist based in Berkeley. She says the beverage industry's tactics work. It’s easier to kill this kind of measure than to pass it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You're hearing the measure is flawed, it won't do what it says it will; the money won't be spent in the way that the proponents say it will.” says Merrill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beverage industry argues there's no guarantee the tax income will support school gardens or other health programs. Instead it will end up in Berkeley's general fund, where it could be used to pay for anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign spokesman Roger Salazar says the anti-tax support is coming from some unions and small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Kemper owns one of those small businesses, Smokey J’s BBQ on Shattuck Avenue. Campaign fliers for No on D cover the tables in his small restaurant. He says the tax could hurt his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be passed onto the people that buy stuff here,\" Kemper says. \"That’s increasing the cost of the overall food. They’re spending more money when they come here, but I don’t see any of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get their message out, \u003ca title=\"http://noberkeleybeveragetax.com\" href=\"http://noberkeleybeveragetax.com\" target=\"_blank\">the no campaign\u003c/a> is also paying teams of young people, some from as far away as Hayward, who are going door to door, every day until the election. They're articulate and very persuasive. Salazar says they're relying on that kind of street outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They go out, share the information that we have,” says Salazar. “Encourage them to read the initiative for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is Big Soda The Next Big Tobacco?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Berkeley vs. Big Soda” is the official tag line of the Yes on D campaign. The slogan is featured on their t-shirts, their yard signs, and is even the \u003ca title=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com\" target=\"_blank\">campaign's website URL\u003c/a>. Proponents argue that there are parallels between the soda industry and tobacco companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Yes on D campaign even hosted a forum called “Is Soda The New Tobacco,” featuring Stan Glantz, a UCSF professor of medicine who has long fought for public health policies, including tobacco taxes to reduce smoking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political strategist Katie Merrill says those who think they can take on the soda industry should consider it a long haul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The soda industry is not the tobacco industry, it's not the oil industry,” says Merrill. “People haven't spent 30 years in high visibility battles against the soda industry”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it's just that kind of battle that Berkeley activists say they're known for.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Dr. Vicki Alexander has been working on public health and other social issues in this community for half a century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My entire family has been a part of activism around Berkeley,\" says Alexander. \"The Free Speech Movement the Free Mandela Movement -- just one after another after another -- we were involved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander was there 50 years ago at UC Berkeley confrontation at Sproul Hall between students and the administration -- a confrontation credited with launching the Free Speech Movement. Berkeley also helped launch an effort toward healthy eating, led by Alice Waters and Berkeley's schoolyard gardens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, funding cuts threatened some of those gardens, and the seed was planted for the beverage tax, says Alexander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The parents of the kids who benefited from the gardens in the schools,\" Alexander says, \"and people in the community who benefited from the gardens started [asking], 'How can we have a source of funding that's ongoing?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Building A Coalition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They knew they were taking on a tough opponent -- the beverage industry. Beverage taxes have been tried in 30 cities and states. They've all failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opposition often successfully argues that this kind of tax would hurt low-income minority communities. So early on Berkeley activists began building a \u003ca title=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/supporters\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/supporters\" target=\"_blank\">coalition that included African-Americans and Latinos\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/173030570&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/173030570'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carol McGruder works with the Berkeley chapter of the NAACP. She says she's involved as part of her focus on health in the African-American community. She says she was \"very disappointed\" when New York City's local NAACP sided against the ban on large servings of soda that was proposed there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And in Richmond I know that big soda hired a lot of people from the community, from minority groups, to do telephone polling against it,“ McGruder says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley pro-tax campaign is also tapping into a broad network of\u003ca title=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/supporters\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/supporters\" target=\"_blank\"> community groups\u003c/a>. Take the Ecology Center. It's been around for more than 40 years, and is known for pioneering Berkeley's curbside recycling program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ecology Center marshaled resources including campaign foot soldiers like 22-year-old Kad Smith, who works on nutrition programs for the center. He’s spending weekends canvassing, and his evenings phone banking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our message is that there is an overwhelming and urgent health crisis in our community,” says Smith. \"We see those disparities especially in south and west Berkeley, which is a low-income community, which is also populated by a lot of people of color. It’s an overwhelming health crisis with obesity, diabetes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"yes\" campaign is also drawing support from outside the community. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who tried and failed to put a cap on the size of sodas sold in that city, recently donated $85,000 to the Berkeley effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Big Money From a Big Opponent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drive around Berkeley and you will see bright red “Yes on D” signs blooming in yard after yard, suggesting the measure's success is at hand. But the beverage industry is very good at fighting this fight, very good at sowing doubt about the benefits of this kind of tax. So far they've \u003ca title=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/10/beverage-industry-spends-big-to-defeat-berkeley-measure-d\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/10/beverage-industry-spends-big-to-defeat-berkeley-measure-d\" target=\"_blank\">spent more than $1.6 million dollars\u003c/a> in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Ashby BART station, it’s easy to see where some of that money is going. There are signs everywhere that say, “Measure D is not what is seems.” A bunch of them have a big piece of glossy fruit that on the outside looks like an apple and on the inside looks like an orange. The tagline says, “On November 4th, vote no on Measure D.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Merrill is a democratic political strategist based in Berkeley. She says the beverage industry's tactics work. It’s easier to kill this kind of measure than to pass it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You're hearing the measure is flawed, it won't do what it says it will; the money won't be spent in the way that the proponents say it will.” says Merrill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beverage industry argues there's no guarantee the tax income will support school gardens or other health programs. Instead it will end up in Berkeley's general fund, where it could be used to pay for anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign spokesman Roger Salazar says the anti-tax support is coming from some unions and small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Kemper owns one of those small businesses, Smokey J’s BBQ on Shattuck Avenue. Campaign fliers for No on D cover the tables in his small restaurant. He says the tax could hurt his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be passed onto the people that buy stuff here,\" Kemper says. \"That’s increasing the cost of the overall food. They’re spending more money when they come here, but I don’t see any of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get their message out, \u003ca title=\"http://noberkeleybeveragetax.com\" href=\"http://noberkeleybeveragetax.com\" target=\"_blank\">the no campaign\u003c/a> is also paying teams of young people, some from as far away as Hayward, who are going door to door, every day until the election. They're articulate and very persuasive. Salazar says they're relying on that kind of street outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They go out, share the information that we have,” says Salazar. “Encourage them to read the initiative for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is Big Soda The Next Big Tobacco?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Berkeley vs. Big Soda” is the official tag line of the Yes on D campaign. The slogan is featured on their t-shirts, their yard signs, and is even the \u003ca title=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com\" target=\"_blank\">campaign's website URL\u003c/a>. Proponents argue that there are parallels between the soda industry and tobacco companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Yes on D campaign even hosted a forum called “Is Soda The New Tobacco,” featuring Stan Glantz, a UCSF professor of medicine who has long fought for public health policies, including tobacco taxes to reduce smoking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political strategist Katie Merrill says those who think they can take on the soda industry should consider it a long haul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The soda industry is not the tobacco industry, it's not the oil industry,” says Merrill. “People haven't spent 30 years in high visibility battles against the soda industry”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
